When I turns into we so easily.
And you swore youd never be one of those people.
A look across the room thinking maybe it could be more.
God & Man
More than where is this going later?
Will this be just another goodbye?
And numbers exchanged and youre staring at your phone.
God & Man
Talking but is anything actually being said.
We are all a little jaded when it comes to love.
I know who burned me but I wonder who did the same to you.
Because there was once a time where all of it didnt scare us so much.
A time when commitment beat not caring.
A time when problems were talked about and worked through and you came out the other side together.
Watching others get it so right wondering where you went wrong this time.
Kissing strangers in a club because thats what you are supposed to do.
The word relationship stings a lot more for people who want it badly.
Because the excuse I didnt get your text doesnt work anymore.
And you are staring at your phone every five seconds wondering did you word what you just sent correctly.
When a reply makes you look back at how long it took them to answer.
And you gauge that on when youll send the next text.
When everyone is so afraid of getting hurt they dont give people chances.
But thats become normal.
When first dates turn into job interviews because everyone judges each other a lot more harshly now.
When you cancel but stay home alone only you keep talking to the person all night.
When running into one another in public is this awkward silence that somehow says everything it needs to.
When rejection paralyzes you so much you fear even making any move.
When they say chivalry is outdated but hope and pray to God it isnt.
When you want something more than dating thats become casual.
When wanting to meet someone you have an emotional connection with seems foreign.
When you want someone you wouldnt be afraid to bring home to your parents.
When patience and faith that one-day things would change becomes your reality.
When you put your trust in someone and finally they dont let you down.
When suddenly you are telling this person everything youre too afraid to say out loud.
When they become a part of your routine.
And you begin leaving things at their place.
But with them you are.
When the words I love you dont leave you empty because theres comfort in hearing it back.
When you suddenly have another gift to buy at Christmas.
And someone to kiss on New Years.
You look at them and realize its okay to have wanted something more.
Because you look them in the eyes and realize…
Every disappointment.
Every moment of confusion.
Every tear.Suddenly became worth it as they kiss your forehead saying goodnight and not goodbye.
